The study assessed the relationship between the factors affecting the academic achievement of the dean’s listers’ of Caraga State University. It involves the total population of the dean’s listers in the said university. The independent variables are those pre-determined factors’ affecting the academic achievement of the dean’s listers’ of Caraga State University and the dependent variable is the grades of the dean’s listers’. The result shows the low relationship between the pre-determined factors and the academic achievement evidenced by the values of the p-values which are greater than. In terms of the academic achievement of the dean’s listers’ their grades signify their excellence in their different chosen fields. With regards to the pre-determined factors, the factor that got the highest mean is the teachers’ competence with 3.7639 and the lowest one is the learning environment with 3.6690. The study habits’ got the second spot among the 4 factors followed by the learning styles. Based on Spearmen Correlation analysis in the data gathered, the results revealed that there is no significant relationship between the pre-determined factors and the academic achievement of the dean’s listers’ of Caraga State University. The p-values obtained are less than 0.05 for all the data set; which is accepting the null hypothesis. The results clearly depict that the students’ study habit, learning style teachers’ competence and the learning environment has no influence on the achievement reached by the dean’s listers’. On the other hand, it is still very important to make and to maintain these factors visible in the academic arena for better learning and for a better outcome.

Information seeking anxiety is a type of anxiety that affects academic performance. The present study was aimed at investigating the relationship between learning styles and information seeking anxiety in relation to the academic achievement of students. This was a descriptive-analytic research, and the study population consisted of students who had passed at least one semester in Behbahan University, Iran. The sample size was calculated 181 from the Morgan table. The results of this study showed that most of the students used the ‘assimilating' learning style. It was concluded that there was no significant difference between anxiety levels and the field of study. Also, there was no relationship between learning styles and age and gender. Moreover, there was no relationship of gender, academic semester, and age with academic achievement. Even though, there was no relationship between information seeking anxiety and learning styles vis a vis academic achievement, the assimilating learning style was preferred by the majority of the students. The comparison of learning styles with information seeking anxiety was a distinctive feature of this study, indicating that different aspects of learning did not have much effect on the anxiety levels of individuals, which could be the basis for further research on personality dimensions such as self-concept and intrinsic motivation in relation to information seeking anxiety and academic achievement.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting students' academic achievement based on Thames international test data. Methods: The method of this study is quantitative comparative. The statistical sample of this study consists of eighth-grade students from 57 countries who participated in the 2015 Thames International Test. The data set was analyzed using the fuzzy logic approach. Results: The necessary and sufficient individual conditions showed that the conditions of the relationship between home and school, school social atmosphere, students' attitudes, and educational activities in the classroom are each a necessary condition, and family background is a sufficient condition for achievement (academic achievement). Conclusion: In the causal and combined causes, among the many causal paths, only one causal path based on theoretical and experimental adequacy criteria (coverage and adaptation coefficient) was of theoretical and experimental importance was necessary. In this causal path, family background and the relationship between home and school in combination provided a sufficient turning point in the occurrence of the desired result (academic success).

Learning styles indicate a students’ preference for learning methods and therefore are necessary information to guide teachers’ instruction. This study is aimed to determine the relationship between learning styles and academic achievement of Form Three students in their Living Integrated Skills subject. This study was participated by 372 respondents selected using purposive sampling from six secondary schools in Sabah, Malaysia. Data was collected using a research questionnaire in survey research and analyzed with IBM SPSS 23.0 using both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Findings of the study showed that pragmatist and theorist learning styles are the dominant learning styles while activist is the least preferred learning style. It was found that learning styles i.e. activist (t = -0.412; p = 0.681), reflective (t = -1.457; p = 0.146), theorist (t = 0.890; p = 0.374) and pragmatist (t = -0.537; p = 0.592) did not differ significantly based on gender but learning styles i.e activist (t = 7.412, p = 0.000), reflective (t = 9.461, p = 0.000), theorist (t = 9.080, p = 0.000) and pragmatist (t = 8.615, p = 0.000) was significantly different between high and low academic achievers. The higher achievers were pragmatic and activist while the lower achievers were reflective and theorists. This study also showed that learning styles i.e. activist (r = 0.395, p = 0.000), reflective (r = 0.476, p = 0.000), theorist (r = 0.492, p = 0.000) and pragmatist (r = 0.471, p = 0.000) were significantly correlated with academic achievement. Theorist learning style has the strongest correlation with academic achievement followed by reflective and pragmatist and the weakest learning style is activist. This study implied that other factors like a classroom environment, instructional delivery, and students’ self-efficacy should be investigated in future studies to explain the academic achievement of the students. This study supported the notion that learning styles are important to facilitate teachers in planning and implementing the lesson and for students to develop meta-cognitive ability to learn with the best style suited to them.

Demographic factors are factors that determine the relationship between motivation, learning style and learning discipline on the academic achievement of Islamic education. Indeed, this study was carried out to determine the relationship between the motivation, learning style and learning discipline to the academic achievement of Islamic education. A total of 260 fourth graders become study samples. The study shows that male genitalia have a modest impression (moderator) that is significant in the relationship between motivation and academic achievement, but female females are not and the conclusion that females have a full moderation in this relationship. Both jantina (male and female) do not have a significant moderating impression in the relationship between motivation and learning discipline and the conclusion that jantina does not have a simple moderation effect in this relationship. Furthermore, the two jantinas (male and female) have a significant moderating impression in the relationship between learning styles and academic achievement and the conclusion is that Jantina has a partial mediation in this relationship. Whenever, female marriage is a significant moderator in the relationship between the discipline of learning and academic achievement, but male sex is not and the conclusion that the female has a full moderation in this relationship.

This paper reports initial research results on the relationship between student learning styles and academic achievement in a distance education computing course with Internet-based student support. The learning styles of students in a computer concepts class were evaluated and classified according to the Felder-Soloman Learning Style Index. We have identified statistically significant differences in performance between different learner types, i.e. groups of students with different learning preferences. The best course performance in both course components: in-course assessment and final examination was identified in students with reflective, sensing, verbal and global learning preferences. One possible explanation of this result might be that the current teaching styles and distance learning environment (course material and online student support) gives an advantage to this type of learner. To test this hypothesis we are planning changes in the learning environment and methodology to cater for a variety of student learning styles. We can then test if academic achievement has been improved by comparing it with the results presented in this paper.
